the captain of the janizaries: a story of the times of scanderbeg and the fall of constantinople
DESCRIPTION
A novel by James Meeker Ludlow, published by Harper in 1890. First edition was published in 1886. "The story of the Captain of the Janizaries originated, not in the author's desire to write a book, but in the fascinating interest of the times and characters he has attempted to depict.
